Qualifying For the 2005 Nationals
Hey gang-
I was just wondering what the final decision is on how the teams will qualify for the 2005 Nationals. Of course the National Chairman's Winners will be eligible but as far as I can determine, all other slots are wide open. Is the tier system still in effect for next year (aka- all those teams from this year essentially can't go)? Teams need to win regionals to participate? There was some ambiguity as to whether the system was going to change again for 2005. In any case I pray that FIRST makes an announcment VERY EARLY either way so teams can plan. I am looking for an informed answer to this question... WC |

Wow, I can only hope it gives some kind of upper hand to veteran teams who didnt go this year... If we are not able to go 2 years in a row I would cry :(

Re: Qualifying For the 2005 Nationals
does winning a division at the championship mean the same as winning a regional?

Re: Qualifying For the 2005 Nationals
Again, another example of the ineffeciency of FIRST and their lack of concern for the average team.

Re: Qualifying For the 2005 Nationals
yes, winning a division counts the same as a regional (for merit points, that is)

Re: Qualifying For the 2005 Nationals
88 won the EI Award in New Jersey... That doesn't mean we qualify for next year does it??? Or does it have to be in the same year???

Re: Qualifying For the 2005 Nationals
If your team won a REGIONAL CHAIRMAN'S this year, does that qualify us for the finals next year?

Re: Qualifying For the 2005 Nationals
i'm pretty sure that EI and regional chairman's are just like winning the regional - they count for merit points the next year (assuming that there is some sort of merit system) but do not guarantee a spot

Basically if you can't sign up during the registration based on the tier system then you have to win one of those awards at a regional. |

People call me crazy but I would take a Regional Chairman's over a National title anyday... But that's my opinion... |
Re: Qualifying For the 2005 Nationals
Yeah, I agree with ToMMan b182... not going two years would be difficult for a veteran team. All the more reason to aim high next year and try to win a chairman's or EI award, though!
It's important for the rookie teams to go though, too. They deserve to see a championship and hopefully be inspired by the great atmosphere. Regionals are great, too, of course :) Either way, though, I'll be fine. I'll get to go senior year for sure then if we can't go next year! |
Re: Qualifying For the 2005 Nationals
I need the community’s opinion on this, what if next year will be your 3rd year and you’ve never competed in nats, what are the odds of being asked to come next year?
